Someone who is playing Overseas would obviously have a local plan, and therefore not rely on Wifi or deal with Roaming Charges. What a tool. The ignorance of some people drives me bananas.

And seriously? I was just in New York for a weekend and paid $25 for a plan that covered me from everything. This guy makes that every 2 minutes of being alive.

To be fair, the "dumb athlete" is as old as professional sports.

Guys, I've brought you all hear today to introduce you to our new crunch time big: Giant Rock. Giant Rock is expected to stay in the paint and help on every single blow by. We'll require either Amir or Patterson to push Giant Rock out of the key every 3 seconds, then push him back in.

He's got a good point. I'm on a corporate account and we get slammed for roaming charges just 'roaming' from Toronto to Waterloo. It's f'in ridiculous. Please, please, please get a foreign carrier in here who can be a legitimate threat to Bell/Rogers/Telus oligopoly.

To me, this speaks more about America's bubble, than anything specific to athletes.

The home of the brave (and utterly clueless).

I disagree. This may have just been a throw away tweet by CJ because he was frustrated, and seemingly very cheap. I've made the same complaint sitting at the airport in Atlanta or Minnesota cursing the fact that there's no free wifi. It's just unfortunate that ESPN put it on such a platform.

Tell them they should move here if it is such an imposition...I understand the CRTC is looking into the gouging by the carriers and this affects all. The carriers here pay pennies (to US cell systems) on Canadians making calls while they are in the States and I am sure the same is happening to US residents making calls when coming here.

Who are you with?! That's a deal straight out of 2003.
I'm with Telus, and I get unlimited Long Distance in Canada; Can surf, text & call from anywhere in Canada. For $70 a month.

Should tell your Company to switch plans ...

At the end of the day whether you make $80K per year or $8M per year, you still want to be smart about how you spend your money. Just because you have a bigger "buffer" when it comes to annoying fees like roaming, it doesn't make them less annoying.

I don't care that he used the word "overseas". I think you guys are just nitpicking.

People can stop being poor, but not being cheap is tougher to do.

Nah, the "overseas" comment changes the context entirely for me. It becomes less about a money complaint (which is justified), and more about "dude, do you actually think that American players who live in Europe use Verizon???"

in other espn news...was just checking out the Hollinger rankings. I figured Derozan and Gay would blow up the Hollinger machine and skipped right to page two (teams 16-30) and wouldn't you know it...had to go back to page one to see us at #14. Maybe we're analytically ok.
